The people present were shocked to see the scene.After giving the boy a disdainful glance, Catherine looked up and swept a cold gaze at the few boys.That gaze was cold and terrifying. Whoever she looked at with that gaze would tremble.Those boys stepped back without hesitation. Catherine's kick was enough to make them understand the strength gap between themselves and her.The girl who fell to the floor finally reacted. She pounced forward and was ready to hold Catherine's thighs but froze at the moment Catherine's gaze fell on her.The girl tried to speak. She opened her mouth but hiccupped, looking stunned.Catherine casually pulled over a chair. After elegantly adjusting her long clothing by giving a slight shake to the ends, she sat down composedly and coolly. Her movements were unmistakably dominant. She looked intimidating.She raised her eyebrows at the girl and asked coldly, "Why was he bullying you?"When she said "he," her eyes flicked toward Johnathan.The girl i
Johnathan was a boy who his family pampered. When had he ever been humiliated like this?He gritted his teeth to endure the pain and threatened Catherine again."Catherine, stop it right now. Or else Mommy and Daddy won't let you go. When they arrive, you'll be in for it!"Catherine wondered if Johnathan was an idiot. Hadn't he already made that threat once a few minutes ago?Why did he do it again?Did he think she would be afraid of his threats?Seeing Catherine's sudden stop, Johnathan thought his threat had worked.After all, he was his parents' favorite, the only heir of the Swanns. He thought Catherine dared not hurt him.Just when Johnathan was about to be arrogant and proud, Catherine suddenly threw the bamboo whip aside and drew a thicker, longer one out.It was a bamboo whip twice as thick as the previous one, and Catherine waved it in front of Johnathan.Johnathan's body tightened in fear, and he couldn't help shivering. He tried to brace himself so he didn't screa
Branden was still in place without leaving, and Catherine walked over toward him.Seeing her walk over, the expression on Branden's handsome face remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.Paxton stood over him. There was a set of cleaning tools in his hands.Branden sidled up to a hot towel that had just been sterilized. He took Catherine's hand that was hanging at her side.Catherine didn't resist, allowing him to wipe her hands clean with the hot towel.Her gaze followed the man's movements, which were gentle but meticulous. He wiped every corner of her hands clean.Catherine's hands were fair-skinned and tender, and her palms were soft like that of babies.But at that moment, her smooth palm had a red mark.The original simple red mark was a little too red and purple against her fair-skinned palm, and Branden narrowed his eyes suddenly.Catherine sensed it. She didn't move, waiting to see what Branden would say.His eyebrows furrowed, and his tone showed a hint of he
It was clear that Catherine's question was directed at Branden. Branden knew it too, and so he turned to look at Catherine."Are you full?" Branden inquired in a deep voice. Catherine nodded silently. She decided that if Branden had any further business to be done over here, she would leave first.To her surprise, Branden stood up after she nodded.He even took the initiative to help Catherine with her coat. It made everyone present stunned as this was unusual for him. Usually, others would be helping him.Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Triston became anxious.He finally came to his senses and decided to indulge himself after resting for many days. Hence, he set up this gathering.They had only just started eating, and now Branden wanted to leave."Mr. Duncan, Catherine, why don't you stay a bit longer?"Upon hearing this, the two paused in their steps. Catherine looked at Branden, indicating that he could stay.Branden turned and glanced at Triston with hi
Korbin squinted his eyes upon hearing this. He looked at Rachael angrily with his dark eyes.He was a man and the head of the Swanns. His authority was not something that should be challenged.Under normal circumstances, Rachael might have felt fear and apprehension under Korbin's intimidating gaze.After all, the most impressive quality among women in the upper echelons of high society wasn't intelligence or their lineage, it was endurance. To become a successful lady of a prestigious family, one had to learn how to endure.However, Rachael could no longer hold back today.Johnathan was her bottom line and Rachael wouldn't allow anyone to harm Johnathan."What? Did I say something wrong? That jinx has come back to bring disaster upon us. She wants to drag all of us down with her," Rachael retorted without flinching even when faced with Korbin's threat. Korbin's face darkened, not only because of Rachael's unprecedented refusal to yield but also because he was dissatisfied wi
Audrey woke up early the next day. Kim had criticized her the last time she appeared on the variety show. Kim found Audrey to be too straightforward. The other female celebrities seemed to appear on screen make-up-free, but they all have their little tricks. Most of them did semi-permanent cosmetic procedures.However, Audrey was so naive. She did the entire program makeup-free, driving Kim so mad that she almost rushed to her house to give her a makeover.After a good scolding, Audrey learned her lesson. She got up early this morning and started getting herself ready.Though she still went makeup-free, she applied a face mask at the very least. She also did a lip treatment and even slyly applied some lash primer.Audrey was no stranger to these little tricks as a seasoned beauty blogger. When it comes to subtle makeup that wasn't obvious, she had quite a few tricks up her sleeve.For example, no matter how you applied mascara, it was always obvious when it was there.But t
Kate had to drop out due to illness, and the production team didn't have time to arrange a replacement.The main reason was the high-risk nature of doing live shows. One's reputation as a celebrity would be ruined if one did not tread carefully. Although the reason for Kate's withdrawal was illness, everyone knew it was just a gesture of courtesy from the production team.The change from being a rising star to the target of online criticism was too heavy a price.So, this episode was recorded with just three groups of guests.Without Kate's interference, the atmosphere among the three groups of guests seemed harmonious.The theme of this week's episode was the zoo, and the guests were recording at the Universal Theme Park.As the three groups of guests met, their interactions were much smoother since they were acquainted. Audrey took the initiative to greet the Parkers brothers. She said, "Congratulations! I heard you're making your debut in the film industry. You are ready t
In reality, Audrey didn't need to go back for Catherine. Catherine had already received the news from the video surveillance.She was resting, not sleeping.When she saw how proud Audrey was as she showed off to the Parkers on the video feed, Catherine couldn't help but smile.She couldn't believe that she had such a sister. If it weren't for their DNA, she might have questioned it.Audrey had just left the hippo enclosure when she saw Catherine heading her way. Audrey couldn't contain her excitement. She began waving and shouting, "Kathy, I'm over here!"At the same time, the viewers kept sending comments.[I don't see many animals in the zoo. But I see plenty of clowns.][Haha. Audrey is just too funny.][Is it acceptable for female celebrities to be so unconcerned about their image these days?][Sorry. Audrey might be planning to pursue a comedy career. I'm her dedicated fan.]...As Kim watched this scene unfold on the screen, he couldn't help but facepalm and wipe the s
